Many weddings and special events are held here among the beautiful tall columns of the church, ancient oak trees and grave sites. A church service is held the second Sunday after Easter. Open dawn till dusk daily. Admission is free. There are no facilities available.

Located near Givhans State Park along the historic Edisto River where tupelo trees grow, this family-owned bee farm aims to educate visitors on the importance of honey bees and the honey they produce.

A gift shop also features varying sizes of honey and beeswax figures and candles, lip balm, hand creams and chocolate-covered honey candy. The Bee City Café offers simple lunch fare that includes hamburgers, cheeseburgers or hot dogs, but visitors are also welcome to bring a picnic. - Natasha Lawrence
